Finding a handle in a WPF window

Question

On Windows forms, there was a win1.Handle property, which, if I recall, returns a handle to the handle of the main window?

Is there an equivalent way to get a WPF window handle?

I found the following code online,

IntPtr windowHandle = new WindowInteropHelper(Application.Current.MainWindow).Handle; 

but I don’t think this will help me because my application has several windows.

Thank!!

Answer 1

Well, instead of passing Application.Current.MainWindow just pass the link to any window you want: new WindowInteropHelper(this).Handle , etc.

Answer 2

Just use your window with the WindowsInteropHelper class:

 // ... Window myWindow = get your Window instance... IntPtr windowHandle = new WindowInteropHelper(myWindow).Handle; 

At the moment, you are requesting the main application window, from which there will always be one. You can use the same technique in any window, however, if it is the Window.Windows.Window class, derived from Windows.

Answer 3

you can use:

 Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainWindowHandle 

Answer 4

If you want for some reason you make window handles for ALL Window applications, you can use the Application.Windows property to access all Windows, and then use WindowInteropHandler to access your handles, as you already demonstrated.
